A 7-eV bandgap semiconductor based on silicon-doped α-(Al<sub><i>x</i></sub>Ga<sub>1−<i>x</i></sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>


Suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy is used to grow silicon-doped α-(AlxGa1−x)2O3 films with bandgaps exceeding 7.0 eV, enabling the fabrication of a Schottky diode and a field-effect&nbsp;transistor with colossal-bandgap channels.
